1. a person who lives outside their native country.
Ex-patriot. Oh come on, there's lots of reasons one might be living outside of the country... like military deployment, being a ship-captain, being an oil-worker, being a deep-sea fisherman, teaching abroad (from what I hear Japan really likes native English teachers), missionary work, etc. (and those are just off the top of my head.)

Very dumb analogy. I lived in Japan for 14 years. My brother is a permanent resident. Both of us had frequent opportunities to interact with the locals and make friends for America. While Europe shirks the duty of sharing the cost of their own defense (with a handful of notable exceptions such as Poland), Japan contributes handsomely.
Because my brother and I were there, I can think of more than a few cases why they bought American rather than from some other country.
